More about me:

In my lifetime, I have seen my beloved Forest, lift the European cup, back to back! Truly MAGIC!
We are THE REDS!

Nottingham Forest have worn red since the club's foundation in 1865. At the meeting in the Clinton Arms which established Nottingham Forest as a football club, the committee also passed a resolution that the team colours should be Garibaldi red.
This decision was made in honour of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian patriot who was the leader of the redshirts party. At this time, clubs identified themselves more by their headgear than their shirts and a dozen red caps with tassels were duly purchased, making Forest the first club to officially wear red, a colour that has since been adopted by a significant number of others.
